Lyrics

Verse 1:

Oh, you want to talk shop, you gothed-out fop?

Go back to Hot Topic and shop for a top!

There's a melancholy alcoholic laughingstock

In the King's house; now watch the Castle Rock!

Pouty little poet with an opiate affliction!

I'm a workaholic with a fiction addiction!

I'm making dedicated readers shivery and jittery!

Feel that Rage and Misery!

You better start Running, Man! You're in deep poo, Poe!

I'm a mad dog, fangs Shining; Cujo!

Tommyknock you down till you can't Stand up!

You're as soft as Po, the Kung Fu Panda!

Racks on racks 'cause I pen fat stacks of frightening writing; have you seen the pile?

I can even take a break from my routine style!

Crank out a Shawshank or a Green Mile!

Masque of the Red Death? Barely blood curdling.

Pit and the Pendulum? Not even unnerving.

Perving on your first cousin when she's thirteen years old? Now, that's disturbing!

Verse 2:

*sigh* Speaking of bored, you're the worst!

Dropped out of school, but you can't drop a verse!

I could have spent that time better.

In eight bars, I can write a whole best-seller!

I'm so prolific! This sickly goblin won't be bothering me! I'm on a clobbering spree,

And I'll be smacking you with any of the big thick books in my big dick bibliography!

See, I'm the author with the blood and gore lore galore that'll horrify a reader to the core!

Fame? Money? Talent? Success? You'll always have less, never more!

Trivia

The real Stephen King tweeted, "Good news/bad news kind of thing: MR. MERCEDES comes out tomorrow, but I think Poe shut me down in the rap contest. :-("[1]

This makes him the second person to have responded to the battle he appeared in through social media, after Donald Trump.

This also makes him the seventh person known to have seen their battle.

He is the first person that doesn't produce music to make his own rap lines in real life, tweeting:

"Listen here, Poe, never seen a rapper as lame as you, I'll fill your Pit and bust your Pendulum, too!"[2]
